The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on the 29th, "According to an agreement between China and the United States, President Xi Jinping will hold talks with U.S. President Donald Trump in Busan on the 30th." It added, "The two sides are scheduled to exchange views on U.S.-China relations and issues of mutual interest." The summit is expected to take place at Gimhae International Airport.

Earlier in the day, President Trump entered the country via Gimhae International Airport in the morning and held a summit over lunch with President Lee Jae-myung at Gyeongju National Museum. Trump also said he wants to reach a trade agreement with China.

Xi will visit Korea for two nights and three days from the 30th to Nov. 1, and is set to hold his first summit with President Lee, in addition to the U.S.-China summit. Xi's visit to Korea will be the first in about 11 years and three months since July 2014, during the administration of former President Park Geun-hye.
